Vietnam Era CISO 7” Recon Knife. Full blade appears unsharpened, but does have some light spotting in places. Letter of authenticity and photos from Ben Baker state that this is one of the very earliest 7” Recon knives as is evident by the exaggerated choil cut. Baker, in his letter, says that the blade has minor rust spots, but they are VERY minor if they are rust at all and not just spotting. The guard and pommel retain about 75% of the darkening finish over the brass. Handle is in excellent plus condition. The scabbard is a little nicer than the knife---Baker states that it is a reproduction, but it looks good to me…In any case, this is a very rare knife in excellent condition, with important documentation.

84. FAKE F/S--The following information is being presented in the hope that other collectors will not get burnt:
Fake 2nd Pattern F/S--Made to be a Free French Variation--The 6 7/8" blade is blackened, under the black is what appears to be a copper plating or coating. The guard has a small Broad Arrow on the top side. The blackened knurled grip has a large Cross imbedded in the knurling. The Cross is aprox 1/2" tall and 3/8" wide. After talking with a couple friends, John Fischer and Tom Parker and re-reading a section of Ron Flook's book, I have come to the conclusion that this thing is bogus.
This additional information came from fellow collector Kerry Gordon. (thanks Kerry)
I just thought that you might like to know that you weren't the only one ever caught with one of these - not only do I have the French version but I also have one with the Belgian Rampant Lion stamped into the hilt.

The real give away with these is that the blade tang doesn't run all the way through the pommel nut, there's about two threads empty at the end of the nut. The other thing is that the brass pommel nuts are painted with gloss black paint rather than blackened.

Someone spent a lot of time and effort on these, the blades really are tinned under the blackening and the hilts are blackened brass that is reasonable well checkered.

If you get an opportunity tell the rest of the collectors that there are both variations out there and that they really are bogus.
